Picnic season is finally here, and if you’re planning on making the most of al fresco dinners this summer, then you’ll need a picnic blanket to complete your set-up.

Wet weather and sand can quickly put a dampener on any outdoor event, but that’s where the ISOPHO Beach Blanket comes in. 

Waterproof, sand-proof and anti-piercing, the ISOPHO Beach Blanket has amassed over 3,000 five-star Amazon reviews from impressed shoppers. Hailed ‘a must-have’, it’s something of a summer saviour and a great buy for family trips to the beach. Better still? It’s on sale for £17.99 (was £29.99). 

Water and sand resistant, the ISOPHO Blanket packs down to the size of a mobile phone, making it a must-have for family beach days

The ISOPHO Beach Blanket has been bought and loved by thousands of delighted families who have reaped the rewards of sand-free seaside picnics. 

Unlike a lot of picnic blankets that can absorb water and be a magnet for sand, the ISOPHO blanket is made out of polyester, repelling sand and water, making for a much more pleasant beach experience. 

The annoying part of heading to the beach is bringing half of it back with you, but the ISOPHO Beach Blanket ensures you won’t have to deal with traces of sand for weeks afterwards.

This is all thanks to the patented anti-wrinkle 210T polyester material. The soft fabric is sand and water repellent as well as odourless and heat-insulating, so you can comfortably enjoy your al fresco outings this spring and summer.

With a waterproof level higher than the umbrella, it’s also clever insurance against any spontaneous rain showers or spills. 

What’s more, the beach blanket is incredibly lightweight and packs down to little bigger than a mobile phone. Despite the incredibly portable size, shoppers agree that the blanket easily fits four adults or a small family. 

The special polyester material is water resistant and makes shaking off sand a breeze - it's also big enough to fit a whole family

Amazon shoppers have called the sand-proof beach blanket ‘a must-have for picnics and beach days!’ plus, as it comes with four pegs, it will stay put should the wind pick up.

One impressed shopper wrote: ‘It’s fantastic, you don’t need to worry about children or the dog running onto the blanket with sandy feet as it’ll just wipe off, not stick to the fibres. 

‘There’s pegs to hold it down, and the bag remains attached to the blanket, so no losing it. Great robust quality. Highly recommend.’

Another agreed, adding: ‘This is amazing!! Great for the beach, in the garden and at the park. The material feels similar to a parachute or something like that. So easy to fold and store and absolutely huge!! It’s had lots of use this summer!’.

A third penned: ‘I’m not sure how I survived going to the beach before owning this! No more towels covered in sand! 

‘Just a nice easy, lightweight beach blanket. Folds beautiful back into its carry bag and has pegs which are fabulous to keep it where you put it, so the sea breeze doesn’t steal it!
